Jennifer Lopez, despite curating a career and name that every pop culture fanatic pays their respect to, is going through the wringer this year, to say the least. Apart from her marriage falling off quite literally in front of the cameras, her tour has also been a financial disaster. To top it all off, according to RadarOnline, Ben Affleck has defined her "glam lifestyle", and his need to stay away from all of it, as the reason behind why he "quit" the marriage.

The sudden knock on the door by Jennifer Lopez has more to do with her devotion towards her kids, and not much with rekindling their romance. Moreover, with Affleck's birthday being just around the corner on August 15, it is possible that the two might be trying to set things right. However, with the stunt that Affleck pulled around her birthday, it might be very hard to do so.
